After I wrote about writing about the process of these two baby quilts last week, I realized I was probably going to wind up doing two very different quilts - which is totally okay, but it does mean that I'll probably write different process posts for the two of them.




Once I decided how many blocks I wanted to do, I worked on sketching the blocks I chose to work with - the X and O design I shared on Wednesday.  I just love the idea of these X and O blocks, symbolizing hugs and kisses for a new baby.  I started by sketching out the blocks to figure out the size each piece of the block would need to be.  If you guys really dig this quilt, I could easily write up a quilt pattern for this one...


After I finished up my quilty math, I started ironing and cutting my fabric.  Then, I made some lovely little piles and got to sewing.  I'm happy to say that so far, my quilty math is working out just right and I even figured out how to get some bonus HSTs out of the O blocks, either to use on the back of the quilt or to use for another project, which I was happy with.  I've only made a handful of blocks so far, but I'm happy with how it's coming together so far.
